UT Austin's spring move-out is a controlled stampede. Over 50,000 students wrap up finals, and the ones in campus housing have a narrow window to clear out before summer sessions begin. The Jester Center alone houses roughly 3,000 students -- picture that many people trying to move furniture through the same hallways and elevators in the same 48-hour window. Off-campus students along Guadalupe Street and West Campus face their own crunch: leases ending July 31, fall move-in not until mid-August, and a two-week gap where your stuff has nowhere to go.

Storage Scholars eliminates the gap problem entirely. We pick up your belongings from your dorm room or apartment, store everything in a climate-controlled facility, and deliver it back when you're ready. No renting a truck in a city where every U-Haul is already booked by move-out week. No dragging a mattress down four flights in 95-degree heat. No storing your stuff in a friend's non-air-conditioned garage where Austin's triple-digit summer days will destroy anything heat-sensitive.

Austin heat is not subtle. Summer highs routinely exceed 100 degrees, and the city regularly logs stretches of 20+ consecutive days above the century mark. A non-climate-controlled storage unit in Austin is essentially an oven from June through September. Electronics overheat and degrade. Vinyl records warp. Wooden furniture dries out and cracks. Leather deteriorates. Even books and photos can be damaged by sustained extreme heat.

Storage Scholars provides fully climate-controlled storage built for Texas summers. Our team coordinates with UT Austin's housing calendar, arrives at your room with packing supplies, and handles the entire move. Your belongings stay in a temperature-regulated facility from May through August -- protected from the kind of heat that makes Austin national news every July.

Moving to Austin from out of state? UT Austin draws students from across the country, and driving to Texas from the East Coast or Midwest with a car full of stuff isn't always feasible. Our ship-to-school service lets you box up your belongings at home and ship them ahead. We receive your packages at our Austin facility and deliver them directly to your dorm room on move-in day. You fly into Austin-Bergstrom, and your stuff is already there.

Whether you're moving from Jester Center to a West Campus apartment, switching from San Jacinto Hall to a house on Riverside, or heading home for the summer, our team handles the physical work. Austin's campus-area logistics are tricky -- West Campus is a maze of one-way streets and apartment complexes with limited parking. Riverside is across the river from campus. And if you're at Texas State in San Marcos (30 miles south), coordinating a move back to Austin adds another layer. We navigate all of it.
